Funny how a subject as mundane as weather impacts almost everything. Our China-influenced media avoids saying negative things about China such that the casual news consumer wouldn't know that they've been impacted by 100 or 500 year floods over the past 24 months. Cities flooded, a few dams collapsed, and a lot of agricultural production has been obliterated such that China faces a very real food security issue, exacerbated by forced culling of Swine fever-afflicted hogs, and the need to import from abroad. The problem there is that availability is impacted by US wildfires and Brazilian super droughts plus a worldwide container shipping backlog. Naturally, China would have a problem continuing to send food to a starving North Korea. This is the stuff that starts shooting wars. "When weak, feign strength" - Sun Tzu
